Residency: Residency Five
As e-books outsell printed books, Alex Ames, the owner of Chicago’s oldest African American book publishing company, must question each of his employees to determine who is still relevant in a rapidly changing world. When he meets J, a mysterious youth plugged into the future, Mr. Ames is forced to discover just how far he will go to survive.
A new play from Residency Five playwright Regina Taylor, Stop. Reset. asks powerful questions of legacy, identity and survival in a world where the real and the virtual are more closely tied than we think.
